My mom is taking care of my boy and very often scolds me for nursing him late. hee. usually, the feeding time should be 3 / 4 hourly depending on your baby's appetite.
Crying, usually, i will leave him down so that i can do other things around the house. However, if his crying is like a sobbing, those cries where usually shrilly and scary, i will comfort him. According to the old belief, its not good to let your baby cry too long, esp for boys as it may affect their penis (don't know if its true or not!) Also, if u allow them to keep on crying, baby will relate crying to mummy carrying. so to avoid such situations, do tend to your baby as soon as you can. if not, u may talk to him/her in a loud voice so that he/she knows that you are around.
